Majority Fools

Poetic critique of systemic injustice

By Hannah AlexanderPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

What's good for the goose


Is good for the gander


Wrap my neck in a noose


From all that damn slander


What is good for one


Is not good for all


Different lives are spun


Before we even start to crawl


I can talk and talk


Until I'm blue in the face


But your guidelines are chalk


That you refuse to erase


Singular in mind


Solitary in view


Keep on being confined


By everything you thought you knew


A line in the sand


So easy to cross


But your high demands


Mean endless lives are lost


But we have this system


That's confounding to me


It leaves so many victims


So much for "land of the free"


But this is what happens


When you go by majority rules


Peoples lives are blackened


Because the majority are fools
